I love to eat at Joe's and I don't remember the last time that I went. Is there anything that we can eat at Joe's?

We've eaten there. They were very nice and prepared our son a seasoned free meal. Lots of steamed veggies, a bunless burger. Nice, nice, nice folks worked at our local Crabshack.

Actually, it's my opinion that a person with Celiac can assume they can eat just about anywhere (excluding fast food joints), because there's a great effort on the part of the food industry to provide food to all customers. I always smile and tell it to the waiter/ress straight up without going into too much medical speak. I never apologize. I just say thanks. You can also ask to have meats cooked in tinfoil/naked and brought to you still wrapped. I do that to eliminate any doubt in my mind that the food has been contaminated. I've never had a bad time in a restaurant.

I know I can order plain food but that is what I eat at home. When I go out with a group I don't mind doing that usually I just get a salad. But if I go out with my dh then I want a good meal that I wouldn't make at home. That is the fun part about going out to eat.

Then go to Outback Steakhouse or PF Changs. They have gluten free menus. Most restaurants do NOT have gluten free menus but will do their best to make a safe meal. As of this time, I do not believe people with Celiac Disease are doing their best to make their numbers and needs known to the food industry. Knowing that Joe's does NOT have a gluten free menu and asking them to consider this in the near future is a productive start.

Jenn was going out with friends not long ago and they were headed to Joe's. Since she is not quite ready to be bold in front of friends yet, I took her the night before and talked with the manager. They provided crab legs, veggies, and a salad that were all gluten-free. Jenn had something else but I cannot remember what the other side was. Yes, they left some seasonings off, but they were also able to use some as well. They were helpful and we ate safely. I am supersensitive, so that is a positive statement.

Sounds like you had a great experience and maybe that should be the start of a letter campaign to Joe's Crab Shack.

celiac3270 should be on vacation, so what's Kaiti up to?

I have to eat at Joe's Crab Shack next month for work. I just e-mailed them through their website. I will report back and let everybody know if they were helpful.

I had a salmon meal at Joe's last week and didn't have any problems. A lot of their food has gluten but not all of it. The menu was pretty limited but I survived.

I'm not familiar with Joe's ..... is it a chain?

I really understand with the poster that said, when I go out I want food I can't/won't cook at home. Me too! I've found here on Cape Cod that in our better restaurants... one of my favorite being Grill 16 in Hyannis, first off the chef makes most of his sauces by the reduction method, he does not thicken with flour at all so most of the sauces I can safely eat there. Not only that when I do find a dish there I want, say the salmon and it has something on it that might gluten me, he just takes it out (when possible) or takes a plain piece of salmon and doctors it up for me with things I can have.

Needless to say I don't go there on Friday or Saturday evenings because I'm sure I would not be able to get this sort of service.

Thanks, Susan

      Diagnosed gluten allergy but not Celiac

      By trents · Posted

      I don't think we can say that just one thing, whether vitamin D deficiency or emotional trauma, or a viral infection, or what ever is always what triggers the onset of celiac disease. We do know there is a genetic component to it and there is increasing evidence that factors creating gut dysbiosis (such as overuse of antibiotics and preservatives and environmental toxins) are major players. Hybridizing of heirloom wheat strains to increase the gluten content by multiples may also be a factor.

      Blood results

      Thanks for the follow-up correction. Yes, so not 10x normal and the biopsy is therefore totally appropriate to rule out a false positive or the unlikely but still possible situation of the elevated lab test number being caused by something besides celiac disease.

      Diagnosed gluten allergy but not Celiac

      By Waterdance · Posted

      Thanks. I believe I can trace my gluten and milk allergies to specific traumas in my life. I've had some quite severe traumas over my lifetime. Mostly in my history I was so out of sorts surviving that diagnosing gluten sensitivity/allergy/celiac was just not on the table for such a survival mode existence. Vitamin D makes sense too. Now I take very good care of myself, I have a rock solid stability and I do take 1,500 IU of D daily. It's more obvious to me now what's causing problems and so most of the time I only eat protein and vegetables. I cheat sometimes. I end up paying for it though.

      Blood results

      By Heatherisle · Posted

      Thanks everyone for replying. Actually made a mistake when stating the lab range for results, should have been 0.0-7.0 not 0.7 u/ml. She was 19 u/ml. I’m afraid science bamboozles me especially trying to understand all the IgA’s and other bits!!!!Regular blood results like full blood count etc not so much!!!!

      Diagnosed w Celiacs, but reacting to gluten-free Digiorno Pizza AND Kraft Zesty Italian Dressing

      By John767 · Posted

      DiGiornos gluten free pizza at one point was  made from a dough derived of wheat starch...yet they were able to call it gluten free probably because it came in at under 20ppm for gluten.  Apparently the recipe was changed and the pizza not longer contains a wheat starch derived crust.  As for the Heinz dressing, it could be an issue with cross contamination with wheat barley and or rye somewhere during the production process.  If you read how Frito-Lays (on their website) designates items gluten free, you will understand the variances in the lengths companies go through in deciding when to put on a gluten free label and when not--Frito-Lays is pretty solid.  Also being in Canada, they may follow a common international rule of less than 20ppm of gluten is all that is required to be labeled gluten free regardless of the grains used to manufacture the product (common in Europe, Central, and South America)...it took a couple of really rough mornings after consuming some Dura Damm (labeled as gluten free outside the USA) for me to realize that it was a gluten reduced beer. Same with Mahou Beer which actually says in Spanish "suitable for celiacs", unfortunately it is not suitable for this celiac and of course the following day was really rough as well...really take the time to read the ingredients because had I read the ingredients of  Mahou's "suitable for celiacs" "sin gluten" beer I would have noticed that it was made from cabada (Spanish for barley)...hope this helps...
